“ But it is only in Mr. Browning that we find enough freshness, 
vigour, grasp, with that clear insight and conception, which 
enabled the artist to construct characters from within, and so to 
make them real things and not images, as to warrant our granting 
the honor due to the Dramatist.”— James Russell Lowell.

Ames, the Literary Ironmonger of the XVIIth and XVIIIth 
Centuries, was the originator of this stupendous work. He had the 
advantage of the friendship of such men as John Anstis, Sir 
Henry Sloane, Lord Oxford, &c., and consequently the run of 
their libraries. Herbert next took up the subject upon Ames’s 
decease; but it required the genius and enthusiasm of Dibdin to

- Laon and Cythna; or, The Revolution of the 

Golden City: a Vision of the Nineteenth Century, in the 
Stanza of Spenser. Lond. 1818. First Edition. 8vo, 
uncut, purple levant morocco, gilt top and rich tooling, by 
Zaehnsdorf. 

This is the first draft of the Revolt of Islam. “ In this poem he 
had carried the expression of his opinions, moral, political and 
theological, beyond the bounds of discretion. The terror which 
in those days of persecution of the press, the perusal of the book 
inspired in Mr. Ollier, the publisher, induced him to solicit the 
alteration of many passages which he had marked. Shelley was 
for some time inflexible; but Mr. Ollier’s refusal to publish the 
poem as it was, backed by the advice of all his friends, induced 
him to submit to the required changes. Many leaves were can¬ 
celled, and it was finally published as ‘ The Revolt of Islam.’ Of 
‘ Laon and Gythna ’ only three copies had gone forth. One of these 
had found its way to the Quarterly Review, and the opportunity 
was readily seized of pouring out on it one of the most malignant 
effusions of the odium theologicum that ever appeared even in those 
days, and in that periodical.”— Fraser's Magazine, vol. lxi., p. 100.

In polished cherry colored frame, with gilt heading. 

Very fine, curious and characteristic : being “Articles of 
Agreement entered into this Third day of February in the Year 
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight between 
George Dolby, British subject, alias The Man of Ross, and James 
Ripley Osgood, American citizen, alias The Boston Bantam. 

W hereas some Bounce having arisen between the above men in 
reference to feats of pedestrianism and agility, they have agreed to 
settle their differences and prove who is the better man by means 
of a walking match for the stake of four hats and the glory of 
their respective countries. .... The umpires and starters and 
declarers of victory in this match shall be James Fields, of Boston 
aforesaid, known in sporting circles as Massachusetts Jemmy and 

Charles Dickens of Falstaff’s Gad’s Hill.The Gad’s Hill 

Gasper.” 

Then follow six “ Articles of the Match,” the last of which pro¬ 
vides for dinner to be given by “ The Gasper ” on the evening of 
the match, to which, among others, were to be invited James 
Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Mr. Aldrich and “an 
obscure poet named Longfellow.” 

The “Articles are solemnly and formally signed by Dickens, 
Dolby, Osgood and Fields.” 

This is the original “Agreement” drawn up by Dickens, from 
which about a dozen broadsides were printed.

Fine and interesting letter, written while President concerning 
the “ over-proportion which Virginia has at present in the general 
offices of the federal government . . . Any room given for an 

imputation of partiality in me of this kind would expose me to 
peculiar reproach, besides increasing the clamour artificially raised 
against Virginia.”

Fine and interesting letter to Mr. Madison, concerning the son

better able to make provision for this young gentleman, and his 
family, than I am; and I should be highly pleased and gratified to 
see it accomplished in that way; because it would be the more 
honorable for them, and a relief to me:—but neither the one, nor 
the other shall want, while I have the means of administering to 
their relief. 

My wish .... was, and still is, if circumstances would permit 
it, to take him, with his Tutor, into my family:—and, in the 
absence of his father, to superintend his education & morals.”
